Chapter 13 How to lose the flying dragon riding the face?
Zhu Laosan felt that Zhu Xiaosong was somewhat of a bit of not using bean bags as dry food.
The rebel army in Yuhuang Mountain has a total of about 80 people. Even if the more than 200 people who just joined the gang today are only about 300 people, according to Zhu Xiaosong's organizational method, the full plan is the force of a battalion.
No matter how poor the Yanzhou military preparation yamen is, there are still thousands of soldiers. If it is less, there are three battalions, and if it is more, it is a regiment.
It is already nonsense to use the troops of a battalion to deal with a regiment, and to fight professional soldiers with mud legs. But now, judging by what Zhu Xiaosong means, is he trying to use about eighty people to deal with a regiment?
So, Zhu Laosan still wanted to persuade Zhu Xiaosong: "Brother, I will bring all these two hundred people back to the mountain, and there are only about eighty people left on your side. There are a thousand soldiers and horses on the Yanzhou military store side, right?"
Zhu Xiaosong shook his head and said, "It's not that way. There are indeed a thousand soldiers and horses to be mobilized on the Yanzhou Military Control Bureau, but think about it, whether it is his Grand Master Hao, the Yanzhou Prefect and Yanzhou Military Control Bureau, they dare to mobilize a thousand soldiers and horses with great fanfare?"
"You must know that the matter of transferring troops must be reported to the Ministry of War first. Only after receiving military orders can they be mobilized. They want to take advantage of the big deal to stop the matter, so they have to transfer troops privately. It is already the limit to be able to mobilize three or five hundred."
"Besides, even if they transfer all the 1,000 soldiers and horses from the military preparation office, it's actually no big deal."
"Jiannu was not worried about them, so the masters and soldiers in the Yanzhou Military Preparation Office were not equipped with firearms, but also had not many bows and arrows. They could only use big swords and long grass to make weapons."
"In addition, these veteran soldiers have not been trained for a long time without a battle formation. We are about 80 people who use grenades to blow them up. The only thing we need to worry about is that the prisoners are not easy to catch."
"As for the same sentence, if you can use grenades to clean the floor to solve the problem, you won't be more likely to use a knife, a gun to kill them."
After Zhu Xiaosong said this, Zhu Laosan gradually felt relieved.
Zhu Laosan couldn't understand why his elder brother seemed to have become a different person after his father died? Although he still cared for himself and Zhu Laoer as before, his majesty was getting heavier and he couldn't help but believe what he said.
Could it be that the blood of rebellion is really flowing in my own bloodline? The eldest brother is born to be an emperor?
After thinking for a long time, he didn't think of it. Zhu Laosan simply put aside these messy ideas, and after arguing with Zhu Xiaosong, he hurriedly led the more than 200 young and strong men who were willing to go up the mountain to rebel straight to Jade Emperor Mountain.
After Zhu Laosan and Liu Erniu left, Zhu Xiaosong was also preparing to leave Ningyang County with the rebel army from Yuhuang Mountain.
Zhu Xiaosong once said that this time, he brought people to Ningyang County, not to rob the family, not to rape and loot, and not to force everyone to rebel with him. He came to the county to kill corrupt officials and share food.
Now the corrupt officials have also been killed, the food has been distributed, and the land deeds that should be burned have been burned. Zhu Xiaosong naturally has to fulfill his promise and take the rebel army from Yuhuang Mountain to leave Ningyang County.
This made the people of Ningyang County a strange sight.
Ningyang County was not without soldiers before. Like the 300 garrisons under the inspectors, as well as the constables under the county magistrates, including prisoners, postmen and others, they can all be considered as soldiers.
But, those soldiers are used to being domineering in Ningyang County. It is normal to eat watermelon and not pay for it. Occasionally, they will do some tricks such as kicking the widow's door.
The word "brain" has long been terrified by them.
Now the Yuhuangshan rebel army brought by Zhu Xiaosong came to Ningyang County, killed the officials and distributed the grain, but did not enter the people's houses, and did not steal a son of the people. Even when distributing the grain, they were polite.
Now Zhu Xiaosong left without any nostalgia, which made the people of Ningyang County feel a little uncomfortable.
Why are you just leaving just like the literati and poets who are visiting the kiln? Is it really ruthless?
You Zhu Xiaosong is ruthless, but the people in Ningyang County who have received your favor cannot follow Wushen, right? Then what will we become? I will still have the face to say that we are the hometown of Confucius and Mencius in the future?
Therefore, when Zhu Xiaosong led the Yuhuang Mountain army to the city gate, the road was surrounded by people.
It’s pure nonsense to say that you can break willows and send them away to you. After all, there’s just one day, how can you have such a deep friendship?
For these people who have no education and spend most of their lives digging food, the most affordable farewell is to cook a few eggs.
Fifty kilograms of grain and a few eggs, the market value of the two is far behind.
But in Zhu Xiaosong's heart, these fifty kilograms of grain are far inferior to these eggs.
Zhu Xiaosong lived a hard life and knew that even in later generations, the people here in Ningyang County would just boil a few eggs when they sent their relatives to their distance.
So, these eggs are really heavy in Zhu Xiaosong's heart now.
This heavy weight, Zhu Xiaosong lost less money from the county government - the people were willing to give eggs to the face of the rebel army in Yuhuang Mountain, so the eggs had to be continued, and the money had to be given to the people, and they could not take advantage of the people.
...
Zhu Xiaosong played a military and civilian relationship with the people of Ningyang County in Ningyang County, but Hao Liangcai, who was far away in Yanzhou Prefecture, wanted to scold her.
When he came to the Yanzhou Prefect's Office with the gold, silver, jewelry and calligraphy and paintings he had found, Mr. Hao was full of confidence and believed that as long as he could invite the Yanzhou Army to send troops, the mere rebels in Yuhuangshan would definitely be captured by hand.
However, when the Yanzhou soldiers Xu Yaozu personally ordered five hundred soldiers, Grandpa Hao's heart became colder, even colder than drinking ice Sprite during the dog days.
I didn't see the imagined Tiger Army, and I didn't see the scene of the swords and swords in full, and wherever I looked, there were only five hundred "elite soldiers" wearing ragged slap, and even long-thorched broken pole and large sword rolled.
If a novice from the officialdom came here, he would probably be full of thought that there were no available soldiers in the Yanzhou Military Preparation Office, but in the eyes of Mr. Hao, this was clearly Xu Bingbei who was guiding him.
What to point out?
It is said that the emperor does not need hungry soldiers. Your Grand Master Hao asked the Yanzhou Army Preparation Office to send troops to quell the rebellion. Should you give the equipment to your Grand Master Hao? Do you also pay the food and salary?
The reason why Mr. Hao is so sad is that Mr. Hao is almost out of money.
Grandpa Hao really wants to scold his mother.
The gold, silver, jewelry and calligraphy and paintings that were tributed to Wu Zude and Xu Yaozu have almost used up all the money that Mr. Hao has plundered over the years. Now Xu Yaozu is guiding him so brightly - isn't he just waiting to arrive in Ningyang County and Ningyang County will pay for these 500 elite soldiers to change their equipment?
I won’t talk about whether I can raise so much money in a while. Even if I can raise enough money, the equipment of five hundred people is not a decimal after all, and it will take more than one or two days to build it.
If you delay one more day, Ningyang County will have to spend more money, so Zhu Xiaosong will be able to jump around for one more day, and he will have to spend more day with his official hat.
That's his mother!
After scolding Xu Yaozu in his heart, Grandpa Hao had to smile flatter and lean over to Xu Yaozu with a flattering smile and whispered: "Forgive me, Lord Xu. I didn't pick up much gold and silver when I came to the office. I should first complain to the soldiers for a while. After arriving in Ningyang County, I will find a way to make some tea and money for the soldiers?"
Xu Yaozu glanced at Mr. Hao and nodded heavily, not forcing Mr. Hao to take out the money now.
Mr. Hao continued, "There is a Zhao Xiucai in Ningyang County. It is rumored that his daughter is as beautiful as a flower. If she can marry Lord Xu, she can be said to be a beautiful woman with a hero. Wouldn't that be a good story?"
Xu Yaozu's face became brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he smiled and said, "You and I are both officials in the court, and we serve the emperor. It is more important to quell the rebellion, and it is more important to quell the rebellion."
Grandpa Hao thanked Xu Yaozu again. After the two of them got into the sedan chair, Grandpa Hao's face turned dark, and his heart was cold, painful and uneasy.
It was cold and painful because Grandpa Hao was almost out of money. After going back this time, I don’t know how much I could plunder it, and how much I could still leave after giving it to Xu Yaozu.
As for being uneasy, it is purely because of the five hundred elite soldiers in the military preparation yamen.
Grandpa Hao has been to Ningyang County as his parents' official for several years, and has also seen the scene of fighting after the two villages. Although it is not as good as the blood flowing and corpses in the book, the scene is scary enough.
If these five hundred elite soldiers were allowed to suppress the two fighting villages... Mr. Hao suddenly felt very unconfidence in his heart, and even felt that the final result was that these five hundred elite soldiers were repressed.
If these five hundred elite soldiers are defeated by the thieves in Yuhuang Mountain, will this matter be a big deal? How will it end then?
Once this matter goes to heaven, I am afraid that the prefect of Yanzhou will be a difficult situation for him to protect himself. Xu Yaozu has a brother-in-law of the Shandong governor who can rely on. Who should he rely on, the magistrate of Ningyang County?
The more Mr. Hao thought about it, the more scared he became, and even began to regret not reporting it directly as soon as possible.
If you just broke the matter out from the beginning, then whether you were scolded or lost your official position, the money you have greedy over the years will be saved.
Now, the money is gone, and the official position may not be guaranteed, and even the head on the neck is not very stable.
The more Mr. Hao thought about it, the more frightened he became. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He wanted to grab Zhu Xiaosong quickly and then remove him from the bottom of his body.
You said that these damn mud legs can't be a good person? You don't deserve it if you are bullied? Just suffer well and strive to be a good child in the next life, but why did you rebel?
I’m going to be the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, I’m going to be a saint! I don’t know etiquette and shame, and I’m simply losing all the face of a saint!
Unlike Mr. Hao who was always worried and afraid, the Yanzhou soldiers Xu Yaozu was feeling happy and thoughtful.
The third-rank Beijing official has no sedan chair, but we are just Yanzhou soldiers who can sit in a sedan chair carried by eight people. What is this? This is the arrangement of a good brother-in-law!
This time, Ningyang went to suppress the rebellion, but only a few dozen mud legs. Five hundred elite soldiers wiped out them, as easy as a strong man beating a baby. But before suppressing the rebellion, how long should I stay in Ningyang County?
How much money can Hao Liangcai pay? Is that daughter of Zhao Xiucai's family beautiful? If Zhao Xiucai is willing, Lao Xu will still call him father-in-law. What if he doesn't want to? Let him do something together?
Thinking of these messy things in my mind, Xu Yaozu gradually became a little sleepy. However, Xu Yaozu's upper and lower eyelids were about to start fighting, but he heard a loud bang from outside the sedan chair.
Thundering?
It’s thunder and rain in summer, but what kind of thunder is hit in heavy winter?
Just as Xu Yaozu was thinking about the sky, he could not thunder, suddenly he felt the sedan chair under his butt suddenly empty, and then a severe pain came from under his butt.
Master, am I being thrown?
All these damn sedans deserve to die!
Xu Yaozu was furious and was about to lift the curtain of the sedan chair and go out to kill people to establish his authority, but he heard the rumbling thunder in his ears keep ringing.
